Per request, here’s a picture of the inside of the cake! It tasted delicious! Also, the pink frosting is buttercream, not fondant, which you are supposed to ice the cake with first. It’s pink because it’s leftover from valentine’s. it wasn’t visible in the pictures, but the pink did show through the white fondant a little, so you might want to use white as the underlayer should you ever attempt your own fondant covered cake.
Last night Katie Chesney came over and we tried our hand at making a cake decorated with fondant. Katie has been making some specialty cakes over the past couple of years, and I am always up for trying new things… so with our combination of actual skill (Katie) and brash (Kelly) I think we came up with a pretty good first attempt! The decoration is in honor of our Thursday night TV viewing parties… see if you can tell what the pictures are!
There is nothing better than a morning spent drinking Starbucks, eating Chick-Fil-A and reveling in a Carolina victory over our biggest, ugliest rival. I love it! I also love reading the morning stories about our greatness, especially the story in the Charlotte Observer, which is unafraid to display their bias forthe Heels. Today’s front page online read “Once again, Tar Heels are kings of Cameron” while all espn.com gave us was “UNCrallies past Duke” in a sidebar. We watched the game with the Knoxville Carolina Club, and over 20 people came out to cheer! Yay for finding Heels wherever you go.
